Laundry-Folding Robot Shows Why There Will Always Be Demand for Low-Skilled Human Labor
Obviously there are some conceits involved: the clothes are already laying flat on a green table, which makes it easy for the robot’s machine vision software to detect its edges. It then calculates a series of folds before going into action, which has been sped up in the video by four times. Folding takes quite a bit longer than a person would, but the PR2 is limited by its processing speed (which will get faster with better technology).
